Former ‘SNL’ Writer Savaged for Laughing at Matthew Perry’s Death
Comedian Kevin Brennan sparked online outrage after laughing at the death of Friends star Matthew Perry.
Brennan, a former SNL writer and the estranged brother of Chappelle’s Show co-creator Neal Brennan, posted a link on X to a TMZ story about Perry’s death at the age of 54 with the caption: “DROWNED IN A HOT TUB. HAHAHAHA.”
He later shared another link to a separate TMZ article about his mocking post, claiming: “I didn’t mock it. I just thought it was funny. But I do love it when junkies die.” Brennan also replied to someone asking why “is drowning in a hot tub funny,” answering: “Because it’s not very deep.”
